The Wishing Well is a space inhabited with dreams. For the person who enters it, it can be full of possibilities or full of rejection. In it, one can devise a thousand strategies to be heard, but in the end, one can only hope.

The Wishing Well sound is a continuation what we started exploring with Eva during our previous work, Begin to Begin: a piece about dead ends. We were inspired by how in written stories different voices coexist to present different angles of that world to the reader. In a similar manner, we started playing with voice-over. This single female voice takes on all the possible roles existing in this magic tale to narrate, describe, experience, recall and live her story.
